AIRBAG MAY INCORRECTLY DEPLOY
The passenger air bag inflator may have been incorrectly manufactured/assembled. This may allow leakage of compressed gas and partial inflation of the airbag without a deployment command.
Replace passenger airbag unit.
PARKING BRAKE MAY FAIL
The subject vehicles are equipped with a foot-operated parking brake system containing a parking brake cable and a crank lever which upon activation transmit the force of the parking brake pedal to the brake caliper piston. Over time during normal operation of the vehicle the cable could disengage at the pedal end causing the parking brake to become inoperative.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to fit retaining clips for the cable.
CURTAIN AIRBAGS AND SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONERS MAY DEPLOY INCORRECTLY
Due to improper programming of the airbag system in the Airbag Sensor Assembly (airbag control module) there is a possibility that the Airbag Sensor Assembly may erroneously detect a rollover and deploy the Curtain Shield Airbags (CSA) and seat belt pre-tensioners. The deployment of the CSA could cause minor injury to a vehicle occupant.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and replace the Airbag Control Unit.

POWER STEERING ASSISTANCE MAY BE LOST
Under certain conditions the electrical terminal of the wiring harness connected to the Electronic Control Unit (ECU) of the EPS slide causes abrasion on the tin-plating layer of the connector. This can cause wear debris to form which can accumulate and become oxidized. Occasionally the driver�s knee may press against the lower cover when entering or exiting the vehicle causing the cover to press against the EPS wiring harness. This contact may result in the connector terminal sliding onto the �electrical insulator� (oxidized accumulation) resulting in electrical contact failure. The EPS ECU then turns on the EPS warning light/sound and steering assist stops.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and replace the EPS ECU and EPS harness.
FUEL MAY LEAK / RISK OF FIRE
The vehicles are equipped with a fuel evaporative emission control unit (canister) assembled to the fuel tank. There is a possibility that a crack could develop on the resin channel for the emission gas flow due to an improper shape of the channel edge at that location. The crack could expand over time and eventually fuel may leak from the crack when the vehicle has a full tank. Fuel or fuel vapour in the presence of an ignition source could increase the risk of a vehicle fire
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and replace the fuel suction plate sub-assembly.

CURTAIN SHIELD AIRBAG MAY DEPLOY UNINTENTIONALLY
On affected vehicles the curtain side air bag inflator may have a crack in a weld. If this crack propagates gas may leak and in certain conditions partially in inflate the air bag.
On affected vehicles install retention brackets on the curtain shield air bag inflators.

HEADLIGHT MAY MALFUNCTION
Headlamps manufactured to the incorrect specification may have been fitted and not may distribute light correctly.
On affected vehicles replace headlamp units.

DIRECTIONAL CONTROL COULD BE COMPROMISED
There is a possibility that a strut top mounting bearing could be damaged when a high load is applied to the strut such as when the vehicle is driven over a large bump. If this occurs there could be abnormal noise when driving on uneven roads or when turning the steering wheel. If the vehicle continues to be operated the upper side of the strut rod could separate causing a loss of vehicle stability which could increase the risk of a crash.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and replace the strut mounting bearings with improved ones. If a strut mounting bearing is found to be damaged the dealer will replace the strut and front suspension support sub-assembly with a new one.
STEERING COLUMN MAY FAIL UNEXPECTEDLY
A component of the steering column may not be to specification and could fail. If this occurs there would be a loss of directional control.
The manufacturer will contact keepers of affected vehicles and advise not to use the vehicle. Examine vehicles and on those with the affected component replace the steering column.
REAR SEAT BELT MAY FAIL
The vehicles are equipped with 3-point lap-shoulder belt assemblies in all-three rear seating positions. The inner belt (buckle portion) of each of the rear three seat belt assemblies is secured to the floor of the vehicle with an anchor plate. The anchor plate might have been manufactured with a sharp edge around the punched portion. In the event of a collision there is a possibility that the inner seat belt webbing could become cut and separate at the anchor plate. If this occurs the inner seat belt may not properly restrain the occupant which could increase the risk to injury.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and check the Lot number of the anchor plate. Where necessary the rear inner belt assembly will be replaced with a new one.

SEATBELT MAY NOT PERFORM AS DESIGNED
In the event of a high-speed collision principally in the frontal direction there is a possibility that the lap belt webbing on the outboard seats of the second row could contact a portion of the seat cushion frame become cut and separate.
On affected vehicles fit a plastic protector to the seat frame.
ENGINE MAY STALL
Under certain conditions condense water in the intake air can corrode the needle bearing housing. Due to corrosion of the bearing housing the sealing between intake air and the electrical actuator circuit of the throttle body might not be water tight anymore. In the condition that water enters in the throttle body actuator circuit the water might cause a throttle body position misreading or short circuit inside the throttle body electrical actuation mechanism. This might trigger the engine to stall while driving.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and replace the throttle body with a newly designed one. In addition the engine wire harness and the engine ECU will be inspected and replaced if necessary.
LOSS OF POWER
Internal cluctch pistons may have been incorrectly manufacturerd. This may cause incorrect transmission operation.
On affected vehicles inspect clutch opertaion. Depending on out come either replace clutch component or transmission unit.
